If Treasure is going to continue making Bleach fighting games -- Bleach: Versus Crusade is the third, a very unusual occurrence for a developer that shuns sequels in general -- we're going to have to start learning things about the Bleach series. Right now it's "that one anime with the Treasure fighting games." Actually, now that we think about it, that's enough. We don't really care who all these people are; we're quite satisfied to know them only as cool-looking cel-shaded characters in this game, who often fight in tag teams.
It's possible that this game will play much like the DS Bleach games. Versus Crusade, according to this Famitsu post, supports both the Classic Controller and the GameCube controller. That doesn't rule out a continuation of the existing Wii Bleach style, but the Treasure involvement suggests otherwise.

It's actually one of the most popular English-speaking animes broadcast in America, after Naruto.

I really hope they do a good job with this one. The DS game is great.

Im confused, will this game pick up where Shattered Blade left off or is actually going to follow the story of the anime? Who was Shattered Blade made by? And will the battle system in this be totaly different?(like the ds game)

Shattered Blade and the Japan-only Bleach GC were both developed by Polygon Magic.
I hadn't heard about Versus Crusade before just now, but it's under development by Treasure, the same developer of the two Bleach DS games, so it should probably be better than the previous Bleach GC and Wii games.
But judging from just the graphics on that Famitsu.com page, the game isn't looking too good. =/
